Swordfishing
(Full Day)
$2500.00 USD
Starts at: 07:00 AM
Duration: 8 hours
Look to enjoy one of the hardest fighting, sought after trophy fish in the ocean.. Book a Swordfishing charter! Swordfishing takes place 30 miles offshore to the ledge for a chance at the catch of a lifetime. Using 2 rods, a tip rod and a buoy rod, most trips are done with electric reels due to the depths we fish (1400-2000 ft). The option to hand crank is always available at your request.
Swordfishing takes quite the patience as you may get multiple bites or just one bite all day. Once the bite shows up, its game on. On the run out to the ledge, you will also have a chance to catch other species depending on the time of year such as mahi or tunas. Even deep dropping for other bottom species if needed. If you are looking to chase a trophy fish, then swordfishing is for you!!

The weather made for a slower bite, but we still managed to put together a great trip. Snorkeling near the fort saved the day. Justin worked hard to keep spirits high.

Couldn’t have asked for a better charter. Captain Justin brought energy, stories, and serious fishing skill. The Queen Snapper bite was on fire!

Justin had us on the fish instantly. Everyone in our group caught something memorable. The highlight? A double hookup on Tuna and Snapper.

What a trip! Calm seas, incredible fishing (nailed a massive Black Grouper), and snorkeling visibility was unbelievable. Captain Justin is as good as they come.

The fishing was great and we caught a mixed bag, but the gear could’ve been a bit newer. That said, Justin’s knowledge and friendliness made the experience enjoyable.

From trolling for Tuna to bottom dropping for Snapper, every moment was exciting. Plus, snorkeling the Fort Jefferson area was a surreal experience.

Caught a giant Mahi and snorkeled around the clearest reefs I’ve ever seen. The Dry Tortugas are magic, and Justin made the whole day seamless from start to finish.

The fishing was decent and the snorkeling was beautiful, but the seas were a bit rough on the way out. Still a solid trip overall, and Captain Justin was professional and upbeat.

Captain Justin ran a flawless trip to the Dry Tortugas. We crushed it on Black Grouper and even managed to hook into a nice Blackfin Tuna. Couldn’t ask for better conditions or company.

Booked a charter with Capt. Justin to the Gulf. The day was LONG, but the fish were biting which made it exciting. It ended up being a really fun day for all of us. Having the bean bags on board was honestly a life saver because we needed an afternoon power nap. I don't recommend bringing kids and I RECOMMEND BRINGING FOOD. It’s a long day and there’s no going back to shore until the charter is over. If you love to fish, than this is for you.
